That, alone is a major selling point.

Beyond that, they elected a man with no experience, no particular vision, and no plan in 2008... Why not Mitt?

Actually, you've hit the nail on the head there, with regard to politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. I listen to what they say (or the parts that are broadcast and printed), I watch them, I digest the message. And after all that, the most positive thing I can find to say is "Why not?". No enthusiasm for any of them.

My point wasn't a serious one: after four years of getting used to the "leader of the free world" being called Barack, you seriously want me to get used to somebody named after fingerless gloves?

'Cause Mitt's a silver spoon crook. I'd rather a self made man everyday of the week.

I know he got a pretty good zip on the ball. He has a quick release. . . once I seen a coupla' throws, I was just like 'Yeah, he's that dude.'"

For me, it's not about "showing them." It's about not consenting to a broken system.

ok smarty pants.....I got it. So I phrased it wrong, what do you want? A cookie

Think about it this way, there will always be "that guy" in the thread. If I didn't do it, chances are JSPB or emoses would have.
